Mount Veeder Winery Reserve Red 2013

Mount Veeder Winery is a beautiful, must-visit estate with three vineyards carved high in the hillsides of the Mayacamas Mountains overlooking south Napa. In total, the property stretches over 120 acres, but is mostly forest and brush, with just 47 acres planted to vine.

Their advantage over competitors comes from their unique vineyard altitudes ranging from 1,000–1,600 feet in elevation. Dramatically drawn off steep slopes that offer cool conditions– perfect for slow ripening, which extends the growing season. Mount Veeder is usually the last to harvest in Napa Valley. The result is fruit with highly concentrated flavors – big, bold and brambly. The Reserve Red bottling is their flagship bottling.
